Static Drawing Using Primitive Shapes

Our first week’s assignment in my Intro to Computational Media class was to make a static drawing using primitive shapes. The goal of programming will ideally be to make things that move, or respond to the user, but everyone has to start somewhere.

I got inspired by the rainy weather to make this

This could easily (much much more easily) have been done using Illustrator, but one of the goals of the class is to wean your dependence from expensive software, and give you a platform to basically create your own software, or in this case, drawing.

Here’s a link to my applet, with source code.
